CHAPTER xxx. COURT MARTIAL.

Why twelve only of our number were carried to Knoxville, where Confederate court martial had convened, have never learned. It may have been thought that this number was large enough for ven geance, or more probably it was intended when they were disposed of to bring the others also. Gen: B. Kirby Smith com manded the department, and all the pro-
 ceedings were under his authority. What seemed to us very remarkable was that a single one of our number at time was brought before the court, and all the pro- ceedings in his case were gone through with before another was brought out
 Thus each trial was just the copy of the one that went before, and, short as they
 were, must soon have become very mo- notonous to the members of the court.
 We employed two eminent Union men of Knoxville as counsel-Judge O. P. Tenn pie and Judge Baxter-but they were not allowed to hear the plea of the judge ad- vocate, the prosecutor against us. Neither had we that privilege, and cannot there fore give the points that were most relied on for our conviction. In fact, members of the court visited us and said that we would be acquitted of the charge against us, which was that of lurking about Con- federate camps at Chattanooga, Dalton and Marietta as spies, and only held as prison CTS of war. This inspired in us strange and, as the issue proved, an unwarranted degree of hopefulness. Our own acknowl- edgment of what we did, which we linked
 with the statement that we had been de-
 tailed from our commands without our consent and with no knowledge of the nature of the expedition on which we were sent, and the evidence of some of those who had seen us on the train or aided in our capture, constituted the evidence in
 the case. But we have reason to think the whole result was predetermined, although our attorneys were confident that we could not be convicted of being spies. The fact that we were not placed

Police Patrol Boxes.

This is the way a countryman explained to a friend the uses of the new police patrol boxes of this city: "You see" he said, ''the people in town here want a policeman some times, and, by gol! whenever they did want one, or if there was a fight goin' on any where's, the policemen would all run away and hide, 'cause they don't want to arrest anybody. So they put these little iron boxes on the corners and they put a policeman in each one of them, so that he can't run away, and then the town folks all carry a key to the boxes, and can go and find policeman when ever they want 6ne. e."-Buffalo Express.

The Uncut Magazine.

I know of no greater pleasure for a man who is fond of reading than to take home with him a new number of one of our modern magazines with the leaves all uncut, and sit down to it with his mind free from care while the stormy winds do blow outside and the fire burns brightly within. Then is the time for the easiest chair and good paper knife.

CAUTIONS AGAINST FIRE.

Advice as to What You Should Not Do.
 Valuable Hints.
 The leading insurance companies of New York have published the following practi- cable and intelligible cautions against fire: Don't allow stoves or heaters on your premises which are not securely set on stone, cemented brick or metal, and be sure that all woodwork near the stoves or pipes is care fully protected with metal.
 Don't allow any loose jointed gas brackets on your premises, which could be swung against woodwork, or any gas brackets with out wire screens or globes, if hay, straw, light materials or window curtains are near them.
 Don't allow the electric lights or wires on your premises which are not properly pro- tected.
 Don't allow steam pipes to be in contact with wood or inflammable material
 Don't allow any kerosene oil lamps to be filled after dark. Filling lamps near a fire is dangerous.
 Don't forget to keep the lamps filled and wicks in good order. When the oil is low it generates gas, which is liable to explode.
 Don't allow benzine, gasoline, naphtha or explosives in your place. Your insurance policy prohibits it.
 Don't allow ashes to be put in a wooden box or barrel in your building. Always have an iron ash can.
 Don't allow any oily waste or rags to be thrown on the floor, but only in metal can, with cover, and have them taken out of the building every night; they are self-igniting.
 Don't allow any greasy or oily rags or papers to be mixed up with clean clippings, or larger amount of clippings to remain in your place (even if clean and in bales) than is absolutely unavoidable.
 Don't allow sawdust to be used on floors or in spittoons. It causes many fires, ignited by cigar stumps or cigarettes.
 Don't allow sawdust to be used for catch ing oil drippings from machines or elevator gearing. Sand is safe.
 Don't allow matches to be kept loose, or in paper boxes, but only in metal or earthen safes. Those lighting only on the box are safest.
 Don't allow smoking on your premises where any combustible goods or materials are used.
 Don't fail to have your fire buckets filled and test hose and fire appliances from time to time.
 Don't allow your stairs or railways to be blocked up or used for storage, or rubbish hay, straw, etc., to accumulate or remain or your premises.
 Don't fail to have all elevators or hoist ways provided with good trap doors ol matches, and have these shut at night
 Don't forget to close your iron shutters al night.
 Don't forget that neglect and carelessness are the cause of more fires than all other things, and enforce rules to guard against them,

How Remenyi Used to Travel.

Remenyi, the violinist, was amusing man, but something of @ poseur at the same time In travelling from place to place on his concert tours, while sitting in car read ing newspaper, he would hold "dummy" violin tucked under his chin. As his eyes ab- sorbed the news his agile fingers ran up and down the strings. The passengers would stare, but he appeared to be needless of their curious gaze. He always said in reply to any questions on the subject, that he was keeping his hand in practice; but the members of his company thought that he did it more as an advertisement than ything else, for every body said, 'Who is the jolly little fellow with the iddle?" and there was always some one to reply, 'Oh, that's Remenyi.

AN ENTERPRIsING COUPLE.


 Two beavers on one occasion burrowed a the pathway round the pond. When the Zoo people discovered the fact they had a hard time coaxing the beavers out of their quarters, and a still harder one filling tl,e place up. Now there is stone coping under ground all round the pond at some distance from the water, and when the beavers have are forced to be satisfied with the extent oI their dwelling.
 All afternoon younger beavers, each with his mate, taking such time as they could from work on the hut, were busy at work on their own residences, hunting sticks, digging up and carrying mud and placing each ele- ment in its proper place. Some of them showed almost mathematical nicety in their calculation. One busy fellow who wanted to cut large stick in two would nibble little here and there, then walk around the stick, examining it critically, then nibble again and walk around once more. At last, when apparently satisfied with his calculations, he set to work with a will, and in the twinl1ling of an eye, as it seemed, he had gnawed the stick through.
 All the wood used in building is stripped of its bark, which forms the principal food of the animals. Now and again beaver, com ing on particularly fresh and juicy willow twig, would stop work long enough to regale himself with the bark, first, by the way, washing the twig we'll in the pond. They treat all their food in the same way, and when some one threw a big fellow an apple yesterday he spun it round and round in the water before eating it. They lay up heaps of bark for winter use, and now and again when they find a fine, big log they bury it bark and all, in the mud, nibbling off sup ply as they require it during the winter days
 They take plenty of rest, however, as wei as work hard, and along about feeding time several of them came out and lounged in the sunshine on the grassy bank, waiting for the keeper to come. They know him perfectly. The oldest and biggest of the colony-:h patriarch-is stone blind. But somehow i.e too, knows the keeper at feeding time Philadelphia Times.

IN SCHOOL,.

There is school with teacher stern,
With lessons long and hard to learn
A school that is found in every cline.
And that keeps in session all the time.
Its onan doors are free to all,
The black and white, the great and small.
And all must go, the bad and good,
For none could shirl it, if they would.
And all must study with weary pain
Old, old lessons over again
Lessons of sorrow, of loss and care,
Ofhopeess waiting and despair.
And forever we can not choose but look,
Till death shall close life's lesson book,
And we see at last, with all made plain,
That our weary tasks were not in vain.
Doubtless we give some plying thought
To those who stand with the strife I'M
fought;
To those who lift with present pain
Our old, old crosses over again
Who strive as we strove, for gold and pelf,
Who learn as we learned, each for himself.
For the school shall be taught in the long
years hence
BY the same old dame, Experience.

strawberricsi Strawberries! /!

Chicago Herald "l'm a strawberry
buyer" said sunburned young man on
South " ater street. II suppose every
body thinks he's q strawberry buyer
nowadays, but he isn't in the way that
mean. l represent a commission house
here and 60 up into Wisconsin to buy up
the crop, or such sections of it as can
find. 1t takes some lively hustllng to
get the berries. The growers are shy
and they have learned that there's big
competition between commission houses.
Nearly all the big dealers have men out
and farmers want to hear from us all
before they sell Sometimes we bid
against each other pretty lively, but
the growers have learned to be eau
tious. New men who bid big money don It
always carry off the fruit. 1t has been
found that their houses are not in the
habit of remltting with that promptness
which is desirable. For this reason q
man who buys for an old and prompt
paying house has the advantage. We
are up early and late when we are in the
strawberry country. Most of the Wiscon-
sin fruit comes here by boat, and we have
to see it off by night, Then the next
morning we must be up and skylarking
about as early as the sun. The season is
not long one, and 1t is good for some
of us that it is not. have bought more'n n

Philadelphia Call: The cost of running
a locomotive on our railroads has fallen,
owing to improved machinery, from 26i
cents per mile run in 1857 to less than IA
cents in 1887. The wages of engineers
and fireman have increased during that
period from 4! cents per mile run to 81
cents. The reduced cost of running the
engines has not been attained at the ex-
pense of the engineers and firemen, and
that may explain the reason why no dis
satisfaction is manifested by them.

the negative is taken by the camera in
the ordinary way and on ordinary plates
The picture is then transferred to glass
by the carbon or other similar process,

found to have the colored Photographic
picture mounted on its face. The I'M
provement effected by Mr.. Parkes relates
to the method OF coloring, which process
he has greatly simpliied without i'm
pairing the effectiveness of the picture.
Instead OF employing the sketching, col.

time, Mr.. Parkes simply colors the back
of the positive film direct with ordinary
colors laid on not, however, with the
brush. but in kind of dabbing manner
by the finger. After having been colored
the film is transferred to the final sup.
port, either paper or cardboard, in the
